What is Sports with Nick?

My mission with this newsletter is to look at sports (mainly the Celtics and Patriots) with a more positive, glass-half-full outlook.

Over time I’ve found myself disillusioned with the typical discourse surrounding the local Boston teams, as it feels like all-or-nothing and often toxic. Watching professional sports is supposed to be an escape, a way of relaxing, and I believe there’s ways of talking about the action that allow this, without feeling sad or depressed about rooting for the teams you love.

I want to provide this type of experience, sharing my view on things while having a good time. I also want to share my various research ideas, just the gathering of information to tell the statistical story of sports, which I find fascinating.
